A little late, but here all the same. And now, questions are answered!
- Yes, this chapter, which will end next week, will be followed by an Intermission. It will take place in The Oarlock (Templar's brothel district), and touch on the city's poorest-of-the-poor, Templar's sizable and understandably powerful whores' lobby, and what Reclamation's really like behind all the rallies and rhetoric. It will also feature people we've seen and before, although you might not remember them. Like all intermissions, it will be short, less than ten pages.
- I have to reiterate, because the emails have been coming in inexplicably fast and furious: I am, truly and sincerely, not currently open for commissions. The commissions I mention from time to time in the blog were reserved a VERY long time ago, during the Pre-Order Project that paid for Templar's initial print run. I may offer commissions again when the time comes to print the new collection, but definitely not until my current orders are filled. I'm sorry.

Meme.

Okay, where were we?
Oh, Q&A. Right.
- I've been sent this two or three times now, and someone's even posted it in my forum, so the answer is yes, I've seen it: Apparently, Sincerists are real. More or less, anyway. Reality's version of what I originally thought was me being silly is called Radical Honesty, and it's a self-help thing. Very weird.
- Nah, I don't think any writers for "Weeds" read my comics. That gag about the beer-can dick was a coincidence, not a reference. These things happen, y'know?
And I think that about covers it.
Have a good weekend, guys.
Honesty is one thing. I try to be honest to the best of my knowledge. And I sort of see where this guy's coming from. But I generally save that kind of brutal ego-vulnerability for my significant other, whom I trust. What they're talking about is just too self-indulgent and harsh.
What, good with lunatics ? What lunatic has ben dealt with yet ? Apart from his boss, Reagan, Zora, Gene, Moze, Dr Bash, and every citizen of Templar he's met ?
I like honesty, I think it's the best policy, I try so hard to be honest that I usually fail when I try to lie, but... honestly, how does a sincerist ever expect to get through customs? Or keep the income tax people happy? Or get a work visa in another country? Or survive a job interview? Some people want to be lied to, or at least have the truth nicely packaged for them so they can get through their day smoothly. There's truth and then there's TRUTH. You know?
I take Reagan's view on the sincerists.
Also: Bet Scipio is going to mention that Ben is good at talking to Reagan, and therefore good at talking to crazies.
So, I've seen this meme around in a few places, but I don't understand it at all. Where's it from?
Oh man. I always thought I was just an asshole.
I gotta tell you, I really identify with the old creep in the article.
Fishy, check it out. The image is a link to where's it from.
So, there's just a couple of strips left in this storyline, huh.
I'm curious as to what Ben's gonna find when he gets back to his apartment. He's been out all day, and that sticker's there on his window for all to see, and his door doesn't lock...
Templar PD?
Cook family recruiting committee?
Thank-you card and flowers from Bill?
Nuthing, nuthin at all?
It's fun to speculate.
I can't wait for the intermission. One of things I love about templar is that so much goes on in it, just like a real city.
I was wondering though if we'll ever get to have an intermission about the Wickerheads. Or at least a little insight somewhere along the line as to what in the world their deal is. I have a few speculations, but I don't think of them are right.
